Chief of Army Staff has warned the opponents and claimed “We know our limits stated in the constitution of the state. You watch your actions” . Other side states the other side that you should see what you are doing is extra constitutional and they also state many things that are extra ethical as well but we do not discuss them because we talk on policy matters only and not on personal level allegations.
The state has been changed altogether. The state has turned the leaf 180 degree. The change is every where and interestingly or unfortunately the main players of “the change” are at a loss to understand it.
What is the future of a state where the Justices are seeking justice? Where the national leaders are pointing fingers at the commanders of armed forces? In retaliation, the protesting leaders are facing the allegations that they are disturbed only because their parties lost the election. They have complaints that why they have not been declared winners like the others. It means pandora boxes are opened everywhere about everyone. What good can come out in this state of affairs in a state that is borrowing from here and there to make both ends meet.
Real change is that , all political forces are speaking more or less the same and the security apparatus of the state is not listening to and not changing its strategy according to the situation on the ground. One can imagine what will be the state of the state when the security elite of the state is left alone in the whole state, except 4-5 MNAs and Senators of Balochistan including Anwar ul Haqq Kakkar and Sadiq Sanjrani etc.
Neither right wing nor left wing are with the security elite of the state. That is the change observed first time in the history of the state. Right wing Jamat e Islami and Jamiat Ulama e Pakistan , Left wing Balochistan National Party and Pukhtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party are active against the military intervention into politics.
We can include other right and left wing parties and ORGs in the list but main point is the same that security forces are left alone on the land of the state by all. Left wing was always like the same but going the right wing on the same line should be surely matter of concern to deal accordingly but seems they are not ready to understand the lessons history of the state carries for them since 16 Dec 1971.
State of the State & State Institutions -Crushing the GIANT Created to Crush the Opponents -Tazeen Akhtar
The mainstream political parties , PPP and PMLN signed Charter of Democracy 20 years ago that actually paved the way for patronizing of so called most popular PTI by the then DG ISI , General Pasha and inherited by Zaheer ul Islam. The same PTI is now main accused of 09 May and the leader is in jail for last 8 months. The point is they lost their own production even.
U-turn is not the property of Imran only. PMLN and PPP also have 50% ownership of that Quality with PTI. Voting for General Bajwa’s extension, no trust against Imran, PDM part-1 and PDM part-2 are the proofs of the U-turns of PMLN and PPP.
One can state that the state owners have arranged political support for them in shape of PMLN and PPP. Firstly, that is not the case. These both parties are happy with PTI on one point of challenging the military command. Secondly, PMLN is not a party now. It is divided into 3 parties. 1- Nawaz Party 2- Shehbaz Party 3- Shahid Khaqan Party. Number 2 and 3 are not supporting military and number one is just passing the time. PPP will enjoy the power as long as possible and will leave the center when time will come to stand with democratic forces.
What military command is not getting is the power of the ideology. Though it has been used many times against the sitting governments. Example is amendment in Namoos e Risaalat Law. Actually it was not the amendment as such but the movement was created as if the gov is going to eliminate the crux of the law that is blasphemy. The same move is on against the military command now. And it is not on one point only. It is for three points that are just like to ignite fire in the public. 1- Imposing the Losers as Rulers 2 – Recognition of Israel 3 – Muslim status for Qadianis.
This is not the story of a journalist only who can be lifted and sent to the tour of northern areas. Neither the software can be updated here. Because it is being alleged by main political leaders of the state. It is the narrative of the political and religious forces that were the pioneers in the formation of laws against the Qadianis and that are always vocal against Israel. Change in the public mandate is addition to what are the most delicate issues of this state. It means they have a catalyst as well to speed up the movement against their target.
Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Aain, the alliance of PTI and other parties , headed by Mehmood Khan Achakzai is on the streets. JUI is on the protest with Million Marches from Karachi to Peshawer. Who is standing with the military command? Few anchorpersons and youtubers only?
Who will come here to visit only , let alone the foreign direct investments of billions of dollar that the government is claiming when your own leaders are stating in the rallies that Pakistan is not a safe state. What SIFC can do? What a finance minister can borrow for you when he himself is borrowed from Allah knows who? What results can Pakistan achieve by promoting Ishaq Dar from Minister to Deputy Prime Minister? What is the state of the state and what are the priorities of the owners of the state.
STATE OF THE STATE – HARD TO STATE – Who Brought Resolution on Postponement of Election in Senate of Pakistan? by Tazeen Akhtar
Who can support you when you are facing opposition from your own home? Home , here does not mean Pakistan. Home here means from within your own ranks and files. Forcible resignation of a Corp Commander is the culmination of this opposition from within military. It is very dangerous observation but I can accept the danger only because the state is in the biggest danger at this time.
Or enlighten us what to do and what to think when the national leaders are stating what you know already and we do not state the same here. A leader has said that the slogan Pakistan Zindah Baad is unfair to chant at this point of the state. The patriots are supposed to teach us what the common Pakistani should do and think on this state of the state?
What is the solution to this the most challenging state of the sustainability of the state? Lets do not repeat the blunders of East Pakistan. The government has lost the credibility as the true representative of the public and is supposed to step down. Majority party should be called to form the government.
Here important to note is , every one should accept the responsibility of where the state has reached now. Politicians, Civil Bureaucracy, Judiciary are equally responsible for the failure of the system of the state. Everyone should clean heart and mind for everyone and stop all types of political vandata against all and sundry. Learn from South Africa and let the state exist, be stable , sustainable, viable and flourish. For God’s Sake…………………………….Enough is Enough
